Background
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease pathologically characterized by accumulation of abnormal amyloid-beta (Aβ) and tau proteins.
More results
Research is currently focused on developing treatments to reduce the risk of developing or inhibiting disease progression.
Therefore, there is a need to identify diagnostic tools for the initial stages of the disease.
The retina is a component of the central nervous system.
More results
Changes in the retina can reflect the cerebral pathological process in Alzheimer's disease.
